Good album, but it goes on for much too long for my liking.

Album Rating: 5.0

My friend literally told me today he’d cut Greyhound and Gratitude, said they don’t fit the vibe of this record, and would cut down on album length



I was flabbergasted and slightly offended

Album Rating: 4.5

God, I've had such a strange year. Derealization almost nonstop, but that sequence around the 3-minute mark in Greyhound that builds until the singer plainly admits "it meant nothing to me" and the whole thing blows up just... rips me back into the present tense man. Like, every neuron back online. What a moment.

Awesome way to put it

The progression to cathartic screaming on Kentucky McDonalds might be the most organic build-up here. I loved the song from the start, but my appreciation for it has only grown with time.

Gratitude is one of the gems on here absolutely no way you could cut that

Album Rating: 5.0

dude I know. I wouldn’t cut anything, but gun to my head, I’m going with the Dead Duo. Gratitude is fucking perfect, as is Greyhound. He said he’d listened to it like 5-6 times and I’m just like, listen to it more mf then you’ll realize how insane that sounds.



But the guy loves Nearer My God, and then says this record is too long?? They’re the same length lmao. I think he just needs more time with it.

I told one of my friends who has never listened to Foxing before to check this out and he stopped after Spit "for no real reason" but I'm not expecting him to like this after that lmao. So I'm just waiting for some horrendous take to come out of his mouth

last nite was unbelievable, one of the best shows ive ever been to

putting STL dead last is a move I understand even if I fucking hate it

Album Rating: 3.5

if i was gonna drop anything here itd just be all the interludes + the closer. dead internet and barking stand better on their own than they do being attached to anything

Album Rating: 5.0

Even though I wouldn't change anything here, I agree with that take the most. Still think Barking is a basic alt radio song (structurally, not emotionally/lyrically) and Cleaning/Dead Cat, while not the strongest musically, offer something different enough (raw emotion, flat-out weirdness respectively) that I appreciate enough to think that they contribute to this album's pervading dark/beautiful/heavy aesthetic.

Album Rating: 3.5

barking is both a clear highlight here, and a necessary inclusion after draw down the moon stumbled so hard in showing they can in fact write a good pop song still. this would lose the 4.5 without it

Album Rating: 5.0

That's fine, if that's what you want out of Foxing. I prefer them at their weirdest which is why I love this.

Album Rating: 3.5

its funny bc its so rarely what i want out foxing as someone whos never gonna front to back ddtm again but its just by far their best demonstration of it yet and thats a part of who they are so it wouldnt feel like a "self titled" without it. this albums wild dark beautiful aesthetic is *much more* my speed with this band but since theyre inconsistent at it in the back end it dismantles the album's vibe and mystique a little bit in a way barking doesn't because it's so well integrated into the tracklist and shows they can take styles of old of theirs and twist them into new permutations. to each their own though

Album Rating: 3.7

This is easily my least fav Foxing that I've heard tbh. Its dece but not much else for me.

Album Rating: 4.5

I read that before Conor wrote his own lyrics he used Aesop Rock lyrics beforehand because he thinks Aes is a great lyricist. Just thought that was really cool and not at all the artist i would expect them to use for that purpose

not sure if I should jam this or Basic Channel

probably the easiest answer to any question ever posed right there

Album Rating: 4.5

is basic channel the nostalgia critic thing
